2. When your Uncle Sam's government gets defrauded by crooked war contractors, he has a tough time getting bis money back. Recovery of $8,780,000 in war frauds false claims suits decided in the past year has just been announced by the Department of Justice. That isn't much, when compared to the seven billion dollars recovered by direct renegotiation of war contracts. It's only, roughly, one dollar out of every 28 thousand dollars in the 250 billion dollar cost of the war.

But $8,780,000 isn't to be sneezed at either, and it's just a start. It represents the kick-back on only the first 89 cases, making the average case recovery a little under Malaria CHECKED IN 7 DAYS WITH LIQUID for r-m f-m MALARIAL J3J SYMPTOMS Take only as directed Three on a seat isn't as comfortable as it might be, but it's not too bad, judging from the photo above, taken at night as a crowded day coach pulled out of the Cleveland station. One Word Led To Another $100,000. Of these 89 cases, 74 were settled without U. S.

attorneys having to go to court, so conclusive was the evidence of fraud. Seventy-five additional cases are now pending in court and 200 more are under investigation, some of which will go to trial and some won't Actions of this kind will be going through the courts for three or more after the end of hostilities, however, so it's entirely possible that the War Frauds civil section in the Department of Justice Claims Division now operating under Joseph M. Friedman will eventually get back the equivalent cost of a battleship with maybe a couple of destroyers to boot. How the Department of Justice has had to go about recovering this money makes better reading than the stories of the frauds themselves. Basic legislation for this kind of action was the False Claims Statute enacted during the Civil War.

In those days patriotic Yankee contractors didn't hesitate to sell the Northern Army bullets stuffed with sawdust, maggoty beef, weevily flour, shoddy wool and to charge all the traffic would bear. The scandals of those days beat anything dug up by the Truman and Mead committees in this To correct the Civil War frauds, Congress passed a complicated law which provided for court-martial of defrauders in the Army, fine or imprisonment for civilian defrauders and civil action to permit the government to recover damages.

S. government to get half of the money recovered. Informer suits were not much used, however, until 1940 when one smart New York attorney filed an informer suit to collect from a group of contractors who had defrauded the through collusive bidding on a PWA job. This lawyer, had no direct link to the case. He simply took information from a criminal indictment previously filed by government attorneys and attempted to cash in on the old Civil War law.

The case finally went to the Supreme Court which, in 1943, upheld his right to his gravy. To date, he has collected $130,000, or half of the $260,000 recovered from a judgment against 40 contractors. The case put the Claims Division of the Department of Justice in hot water up to its eyebrows. Using newspaper clippings, factory rumors or scraps of information picked up from reports of Congressional investigations into wasteful practices of war contractors, sharp-e-s from all over rushed into court to file claims on fraud money. For a time U.

S. attorneys spent more effort fighting off these informer suits than they did in prosecuting their own war fraud Claims. Late in 1943, Congress had to change the law. Today, private claims for war fraud money based on information collected by the FBI or other government agencies are outlawed. And whenever a real informer files a suit, the government has 60 days in which to ke over prosecution.

In a suit begun by an informer and taken over by the government, the maximum which the informer can collect is 10 per cent of the amount recovered. In a suit which the government doesn't take action and the informer carries through his own prosecution, the most he can collect is 25 per cent of "the sum recovered. It's still a nice piece of business for any informer who an crash in on it. 0 Smart Dainty Fashionable Joe foc SpBG.8. By ARTHUR "BUGS" BAER THE VOICE OF MANHATTAN The telephone girls of the Brox have selected the best male voice on the wire.

It was won by a man from Brooklyn. Nobody knew what he was beefing about but it sounded fine. Now I guess I was in that contest because I whirl many an unreciprocated dial. The truth about a five-cent debate is that everybody has two telephone voices. By that I mean he has a voice when he is winning and one when he is chucking it.

The victorious voice is as oily as a hoofer's hair. The losing voice droops like hay in the wagon. Just watch the boss when he is handing everybody what for from the cornerstone. He roars like a lion with a starched mane. Suddenly his wife gets on the phone and he is sweeter than pie on the shelf.

The girls say it's the Manhattan Mumblers who garnffchee their goats. Combine the muffled mutters with New York dibble-talk and you really have a plate of lingual hash. There are a lot of cherks who use the New York dibble-talk for their own amusement. The gag is to drop in the nickel, say, "Operskater, give me Frinnezbeetle, Zwiss, Inkis, Treeple, Scramm." Then you hang up and laugh like you had a two-week vacation in the Adirondacks. That's considered fun in New York for some obscure reason not visible to the coroner's jury.

Next worse is the New York Chirpstakes in the hammer and hawer. That's the man who calls a number and then forgets who it belongs to. So while he ganders his little black book he garbles and gulps into the telephone. The guy with the rasping pipes is bad medicine on the wire. The best way to make frenzies and influence strangers is to speak sweet and low.

That's fine when the guy on the other end of the line is as deaf as a tough cop. Another overrated bit of telephone etiquette that won't get you anywhere is that cheery, bright, "Good Morning." Try that when your wife is on the wire and you have been out all night the night before. Truth is that voices are actual personalities and there's no use trying to swindoggle the people who know you. When I talk I try to be as natural as thumbs in the soup. I don't understand why the telephone girls didn't elect me Mr.
